Anurag Kashyap Says India Gets Its Oscar Picks Wrong, ‘Gondhal’ Director Fires Back - ABP Live English

Kashyap advised 'Gondhal' to first build its profile at international film festivals or secure American distribution. He stressed that getting seen at festivals is the most important initial step.

Davakhar urged Kashyap to watch the film before passing a verdict, clarifying that it had not been publicly available or screened in Mumbai since their meeting. He emphasized his responsibility to represent India well.

'Gondhal' is a Marathi psychological thriller written and directed by Santosh Davakhar. It blends Marathi culture with global appeal and was created for the big screen, not streaming platforms.
